How half a beard sparked a movement | Jimmy Stanton-Cooke | TEDxBendigo

From a peaceful, disruptive protest to a national movement—how rewilding, reconciliation, and Indigenous leadership hold the key to restoring our forests and securing our future. The solution lies in rewilding, reconciliation, and Indigenous self-determination. Through the Heal Country, Heal Culture program, we’re working alongside Traditional Owners to acquire, restore, and regenerate critical ecosystems, ensuring both environmental and cultural survival. The question is—will we be the generation that lets it all slip away, or the one that stands up to heal our country and culture? Jimmy Stanton-Cooke is a passionate environmental activist with over 20 years of experience driving action for healthier forests, thriving wildlife, and a more sustainable planet. As the Co-founder and CEO of HalfCut, he is dedicated to addressing the climate emergency and inspiring others to join the fight for our planet’s future. The "HalfCut" concept is at the core of Jimmy’s mission. With 50% of the world’s forests destroyed, Jimmy embodies the statistic, wearing the issue on his face. Jimmy invites everyone to be part of the solution, proving that taking action for our planet can be both meaningful and fun. "Flip the coin – our future depends on it." This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
